They aren't bug free but that is the same as closed source and requiring open source would prevent malicious actors from doing as much while also letting anyone who wanted to pentest and granularly access the code have complete access and find as many if not more weaknesses than a dedicated corporate bug hunting team

I dont think cars should connect to the Internet if you don't want them to so live commands shouldn't be an issue but if you are talking about programming preset commands in having the apps be open source would fix that for the most part by adding that auditing layer

I still use mint for my daily driver office laptop because I works well right out of the box but you still have the level of software fuckary that let's it be fun to mess with

Sorry I'd that didn't make much sense, it got into an emotional topic and I am not good with staying composed or structuring things while emotional

I dont think that the anonymity or the not being tied down are really that bad

The getting to try on a new face online with no judgement or ties to my in person life have if anything led me into becoming the person I am today

If I hadn't made a new set of accounts when I started thinking I could be trans I wouldn't have survived this long because I would have kept all that dysphoria bottled up until my life would have ended far before the point I am at now

If i hadn't been able to make new accounts for asking political questions about things I didnt want people to know I was questioning I wouldn't have been able to form the views I have today because I would have stayed stuck in the free market capitalist bubble I was in for most of my life.

The anonymity allows for new connections and growth just as much if not more than the amount of issues it caused and at least in my opinion showcases the kindness of people because even with that non personal connection my life has been saved several times by people whose names I will never know and faces I will never see just like they won't ever see my face and most won't know my name

That is fair but some emissions control software and such is run through the same computer, I agree on the tactile sensation but I wouldn't want to tie critical car functions into a smartphone so you would still need a computer and if you are gonna put a computer in at least some functionality based on spare processing power makes sense

Dont just look at generally best, try and find one with a good orthopedic department because that is what you are gonna actually need for long term treatment

I dont remember because I went straight from boring teen to would be interested but is in an industry where every job in it has random drug testing

Either that or ban obfuscated hardware 9r software in vehicles and require the infotainment section to be modular so that people can change out pieces and upgrade hardware as they want

And do the same thing for all electronics

Lidocane patches or gel are always good,

Muscle spasms a tense unit could maybe help with

I am not a person who has delt with that kind of issue but I know some basic stuff

You can get strong lidocane patches and some other meds, if you could get it it is possible to buy numbing meds that can be injected into the affected area for stronger temporary relief but I dont know your comfort level with diy-ing light medical procedures

In nc either Baptist or preferably atrium would be where to take them but idk anything about Virginia hospitals

I am a provider at an emergency medical service company so I am unable to freely take off work but not just for the normal threats to my job reason but also because me taking off work without getting someone to cover for me (defeating the purpose of going on strike) could literally cause someone to die if not multiple people given the danger level of the city I am based in

I am purposely keeping this vague because I dont want to give away too much info

I am asking because there is what should hopefully be a decent sized strike going on soon in my home area and I want to participate but I can't really because of the reasons I was talking about before

Can I get some advice on this especially if you are in the healthcare industry

I am in the south east united states and I am trying to figure out if I need to use my legal name on the testing

I know they require you to show identification for drug tests but can anyone give info on if they actually require an ID or not for a hormone panel

I am not publically out and not in the best area but I would probably just wear a mask and pay with a gift card unless they require me to show a drivers license then I guess I will have to do it because I need the blood testing but I don't feel particularly safe having that on my medical record

Edit : forgot to say but unless they require Id and somewhere else doesn't I am probably going with Lab-Corp for the testing because they have it for cheap and I figured out how to get it

I am attempting to make a hacked together cyberdeck and I was curious if there were any groups that could help

More specifically it is the meaning closer to what older media in the Cyberpunk genre considered a cyberdeck that is cobbled together from a bunch of different pieces and parts not just a rasberry pi in a cool case with some ports added(cool as they may look in wanting something made from random components and computers I had laying around partially to reduce ewaste partially because it would be cool to have)

I have had to explain some of the seemingly random rituals I do when either a device isn't working or it needs some kind of setup or upgrade and was curious what some of the rituals y'all have are

I'm sure this is a super common question but why do people (generally liberals or sometimes people on the left) call basically everyone who mildly agree with current more authoritarian leaning socialist states tankies

I wouldn't nessicarily call myself a tankie but I can also fully understand why people feel that label fits them when so many people call so many perspectives tankie perspectives and just shove them in a corner

Not sure if that makes sense as a question but I hope it does

1 who the fuck decides what the united States restricts it is ridiculous

2 if you were to make a homade naak for experimentation could you leave the atropine sulfate and pralidoxime chloride in the same assembly mixed or would they combine to make something else in the assembly

I dont actually trust myself to make something I inject into my own body right now so this is mainly atheoretical but if y'all have suggestions on literature about the synthesis I would gladly take it, same for any other medication synthesis just because I like knowing how to make things
